Notes

Diamond Princess: Cases are not included in the Japanese government’s official count. 380 of the 712 were asymptomatic. 14 are U.S. citizens whose test results weren’t known until they left the ship. The total does not include 3 employees of Japan’s Health Ministry and 1 staff member of Japan’s Cabinet Secretariat, all of whom were infected while working on the ship. It does also not include people who tested positive upon their return home: 45 in the U.S., 10 in Australia (one of whom died), 4 in the UK, 5 in Hong Kong, 3 in Israel, and 2 in Japan.

Denmark: The total includes 187 cases in the Faroe Islands, where all cases have recovered.

France includes Guadeloupe, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, and Réunion. It does not include French Polynesia, which is listed separately.

The United Kingdom includes England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. It does not include Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, and the Cayman Islands.

Data about the number of recoveries varies by jurisdiction. While some provide exact figures, many provide “presumed recoveries” or no data at all. To provide a more accurate picture, we apply the presumed recovery criteria to fill the gap when no data is available. Recoveries are estimated by taking into account the average duration of illness and the number of deaths. Someone is considered to have recovered when they no longer have COVID-19, though some patients may continue to suffer from conditions caused by illness.

Note: Due to the high number of new cases, it may take several days before new locations appear on the map.

Black: Cities with 1,000 or more cases

Purple: Cities with 100 or more cases

Red: Cities with 20 or more cases

Orange: Less than 20 cases

Diamond shape: Cities with deaths

Timeline for major updates (GMT)

The timeline below shows updates with at least 100 new cases or 10 new deaths. Countries or regions reporting their first cases or deaths are also included, as are cases which are notable for other reasons.

19:14: 1,081 new cases aboard the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. The flagship and its escort vessels were carrying 2,300 people and were on mission for 3 months. The aircraft carrier stopped in Cyprus on February 20 and in Brest, France from March 13 to March 16, just one day before the country was put on a nationwide lockdown. The number of suspected cases “rose exponentially” from April 4 and the aircraft carrier arrived at its home base in Toulon on April 12. Two U.S. sailors and a British sailor are among those who tested positive. Test results are pending for nearly 300 sailors. (Source 1, Source 2)

03:11: China’s Wuhan, where the coronavirus pandemic began, has revised the city’s death toll to 3,869, an increase of 50 percent. Officials cite the following reasons for the sudden increase: the outbreak overwhelmed local hospitals, which meant some patients couldn’t go there and died at home. There were also missed reports and some agencies failed to report deaths. In addition to 1,290 deaths, the city also added 325 additional cases to the tally. (Source 1, Source 2)

03:00: 82 new cases, including 66 asymptomatic cases, in China. Ten cases which were previously classified as asymptomatic were converted to symptomatic cases. (Source)
